Speaking of Canada (see previous post), it appears that actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have skipped bail in California and hopped up to Canada and are now asking for asylum! They say they are being persecuted by actor murderers!
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife told Canada’s immigration board Friday they are seeking refuge in Canada because they are being persecuted in the United States, after they were arrested on U.S. warrants related to vandalism charges.
The pair were arrested on Thursday afternoon in a shopping area of an affluent Vancouver neighborhood.
The Quaids are wanted in Santa Barbara, where they missed a court hearing Monday on felony vandalism charges.
Other actors “murdered” so therefore we need refugee status in Canada—huh!
Evi Quaid begged a Canadian immigration adjudicator not to force them to return, saying on Friday that eight friends, such as actors David Carradine and Heath Ledger, have been “murdered” under mysterious circumstances and she’s worried something will happen to her husband next.
“We feel our lives are in danger,” she said.
Canada is “welcoming,” right!
“I love Canada,” Randy Quaid told the adjudicator.
“It’s been a very welcoming nation to me.
Quaid’s even got that refugee lingo down pat!
